THE ROMULUS MAYOR'S HOME RAIDED BY POLICE. THE QUESTIONS TONIGHT. WHY ARE THEY THERE? WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOR? GOOD EVENING. IT IS A STORY WE FIRST BROKE ON OUR WEBSITE, CLICKONDETROIT.COM. AND INFORMATION IS STILL COMING IN AT THIS HOUR. LOCAL 4'S BISI ONILE-ERE IS THERE LIVE FOR US. BISI, WHAT DO WE KNOW? MICHIGAN STATE POLICE EXECUTED A SEARCH ON THE MAYOR'S HOME NOT LONG AGO. YOU CAN SEE THE POLICE PRESENCE HERE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, AND INSIDE OF THE HOME. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT SOME VIDEO THAT WE SHOT. RIGHT NOW AUTHORITIES WILL NOT SAY WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AND WHY THEY ARE HERE. I DO KNOW, THAT THE MAYOR, MAYORAL LENLAMBERT LIVES HERE, WITH HIS WIFE AND KIDS. IT WAS NOT LONG AGO, IF YOU REMEMBER, CITY OF ROMULUS MADE HEADLINES. BACK IN 2011, POLICE RAIDED POLICE HEADQUARTERS. LONG INVESTIGATION INTO PUBLIC CORRUPTION RESULTED IN CHARGES FILED AGAINST THE FORMER POLICE CHIEF, HIS WIFE AND FIVE ROMULUS POLICE DETECTIVES. ALAN LAMBERT WAS MAYOR AT THAT TIME. I DID TALK TO SOME NEIGHBORS OUT HERE. ONE WAS REALLY SURPRISED TO SEE ALL OF THE POLICE ACTIVITY. HE WAS ESPECIALLY SURPRISED TO SEE MSP SURROUNDING THE MAYOR'S HOME. TAKE A LISTEN. I JUST CAME HERE ABOUT 15 MINUTES AGO. GONE MOST OF THE DAY SAW ALL THE CARS. I AM HEARING POLICE ARE EXECUTING A SEARCH WARRANT HERE. THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT. AND I HOPE THEY FIND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. AGAIN, RIGHT NOW, MICHIGAN STATE POLICE EXECUTING A SEARCH WARRANT HERE AT THE HOME OF ROMULUS MAYORAL LENLAMBERT. TRYING TO GATHER AS MUCH INFORMATION FROM AUTHORITIES. BUT RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE NOT SAYING MUCH. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. DO WE KNOW WHERE THE MAYOR IS RIGHT NOW? I DID ASK THAT QUESTION TO A SOURCE. THAT PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD TELL ME THAT RIGHT NOW, THE MAYOR IS NOT IN POLICE CUSTODY. HOWEVER, HE IS NOT HERE AT HOME EITHER. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT.
